And yes, I do reshuffle (I put the 52 cards through random.org/lists and randomize them a standard three times before re-dealing).

Since there hasn't been much action yet, is there any objection to letting other players jump in with a $200 stake? Since it's tournament-style I originally thought no, but it's just an experiment after all. I don't know if players might think it was an unfair advantage. I can go either way (as with so many things in life).

Believe me, I know that, especially since both our dealers in 500 apparently found better things to do with their time. Also, no name's story-writing and canaan's wrestling league both went down. And thg's abandonment killed the latest Wars game ...

It's a risk we take trying to have some fun in NHR Games.

I think games like this and 500 are less susceptible, since there's no time-pressure beyond players losing interest and drifting away. That happens and that's not the end of the world. Like you said, it's just the interwebz. We all got plenty of stuff to keep us busy.

The only thing I know how to do is to keep on keepin' on, like a bird that flew.

We'll continue this hand if anyone's interested, but RESET on Monday and see who salutes Kicksave's underwear up the flagpole.
